Nothing better than a good plate of large shrimp and
cocktail sauce. Last year while visiting New Bedford,Ma.,i
was sitting on a fishing pier when i noted a bunch of
midgets coming up the pier.I asked a local what was
this,he said the shrimp boats were in.

(?).Cheer up,i was sooooo homely when i was born,that the
doctor slapped my mother.

Jo Stafford - _Shrimp Boats_ (a top - selling hit of 1952;
written by her husband Paul Weston)

"Oh... (CHORUS): Shrimp boats is a-comin' Their sails are
in sight Shrimp boats is a-comin' There's dancin' tonight
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home Why don't 'cha hurry
hurry hurry home Look here! The shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight (Shrimp boats is a-comin', there's
dancin' tonight)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(SLOWLY): They go to sea with the evenin' tide And the women
folk wave their good-bye (There they go... There they go)
While the Louisiana moon floats on high And they wait for
the day when they can cry...

(CHORUS)

(SLOWLY): Happy the days while they're mending the nets 'Til
once more they ride out to sea (There they go... There they
go) Then how lonely the nights will be 'Til that wonderful
day when they sing...

(CHORUS)

(Shrimp boats is a-comin' - there's dancin' There's dancin'
There's dancin' There's dancin' ...)

Shrimp boats is a-comin' - there's dancin' tonight!"
